Mapped Drives Disappearing when offline

[nikoxley]

Hi all

 

We have mapped drives via GPO setup here. usually when a user take their machine home they can log on but obviously any network drives are not available, but are still shown as mapped drives in my computer but with a red X at the side. This then allows the user to login back into the network via VPN and when they click the network drive with the X on it reinitializes because they are connect via VPN. the problem i'm having is all of a sudden when users are taking there machines home the drives are disappearing from within MY computer so cant reinitialize when logged in via VPN

 

Also we have noticed that when a drive is made available offline and synced ( all permissions have been checked to make sure user has correct access to the drive) when the user gets home the offline drive is not showing as a mapped drive in my computer ?

 

Cant find anything on the web regarding this so any help would be fantastic

We get that too sometimes even though we are setting them in a batch instead of inside GP.
